REFLECTOR: Running LOP

[Dave Philipsen]

One clarification of what Scott wrote (below):  Maximum *safe 
lean-of-peak* power will be around 50 LOP but *absolute* maximum power 
(according to Deakin) is about 50 ROP.  Having said that, the only time 
you can run 50 ROP safely would be at altitudes of about 8000+ feet or 
at a throttle setting that reduces engine output to around 60% or less.  
Definitely don't miss out on Pelican's Perch #65 and try to read all of 
them if you can.

If you really get interested in all of this, you may find yourself 
looking at Gami-jectors or even tuning your fuel injector nozzles yourself.
